Hello and thanks for posting
I'm afraid I can't give you a medical opinion on how your mobility may be affected after your surgery as we are not involved in your clinical care. Your specialist team are better placed to advise you as they are familiar with all your medical details. If you have access to a specialist nurse then perhaps they can provide you with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
Do bear in mind though that they may not be able to tell you until after the surgery as this will depend on the size ( extent) of the sarcoma and whether any muscle or nerve needs to be removed.
I hope this reply is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Celene
